There is brisk demand in the Fort
Worth market these days for all kinds Of
mules.
GAZETTE man last night, in converse
ton with couple of stockmen, one OF
whom is of San Antonio, learned something
OF the origin of the colt trade which is
now attracting so much attention in
Texas. The demand for Texas mares in
| the north for mule and colt breeding had
in the early part of the season brought 8
| large horde Of buyers to Texas for the
mares. Many of these mares at that time
tad colts for which the buyers had no
use and which they would not take. So
it gradually came about that the country
was full of motherless colts, until some
enterprisipg dealer opened up demand
for them in the north, seeing the neces-
sity the raisers were in of getting rid at
them, and the consequent low prices at
which they could be had. It is
estimated that over 1000 of these colts
trade in them began. Will the profits OF
the rsisers of these colts be large? Well,
not as large So they expect. The fact of
VIC 1h6t6C Is uSb IIlS: i o CatbiS UuSi-
ness and the horse business work on the
see-saW plan. When the cattle business
is up the horse business is down; and the
horse dealer rushes into the cattle bust
ness and over-bslances that so the cattle
business goes down. Well, just now the
horse dealers are on top and these colt
men expect to raise the animals SO as to
be ahead of the market which they fondly
expect will continue good. But everyone
knows the cattle business has struck
the bottom and e great many
have rushed to the horse side OF
the plank till it nearly begins to drop.
In two years, by the time these colts be-
gin to show their size, the market for
Texas horses will have gone down. By
the came token, the cattle business will
be up. The northern and eastern demand
for Texas horses has about seen it's
highest point. There have been fully
40, 900 horses shipped from Texas this
year, and the number Of these to be found
in the north and east is convincing evil
dence that the demand will soon fall of

Another Stirring Lecture on the Pro.
hibition side OF Il Predomtnating Pub.
lie Question,
John b. Finch, Of Evanston, Illinois
delivered a lecture On prohibition to q
large audience in this CITY last night
: which exhibited such depth and
I force that the verdict of the audience
was unanimous in p%ronouncing it one
of the ablest efforts OF its kind ever
given in Yankton. In point of interest
it was fully equal to several of the lee
lures of last winters admirable course
and Mr.. Finch might discuss other sub
lects with fully as good results.
In opening Mr.. Finch stated that he
would deliver no set temperance speech,
but would discoss prohibition as it
affected the government to-day. He
expressed surprise at being assigned to
Yankton for q lecture, because he came
to Dakota to work along the line of
counties where the question OF local
option was to be submitted to the vote
of the people, and he knew that In Yank-
ton county the question was not
to be voted upon. Then proceeding
with his lecture, he mentioned la
kota's advantage over many states in the
tendency OF admission into the union,
saying that Dakota could have the bene-
tit of the experience of other states. In
this connection he called Dakota q young
territory soon to become q
q state, a remark which went
by unspplaudsd because of its age.
Mr. Finch discussed prohibition politl-
cally, laying stress on the rotten system
of baAoting as it exists to-day and
speaking OF mans duty to his country
in voting, II hate a political deadbeat,
and that is just what a man is who don't
vote, and any man who votes against
prohibition to-day is q traitor to his
country [applause and q man who puts
his party interest before his country's
Interests is q traitor" said MIR. Finch,
when further along in the discussion of
mans duty to his country. He denomi-
mated a mans ballot as his conscientious
opinion of public affairs and a man who
did not express his conscientious
opinion. by that ballot, but al.
lowed himself to be bribed into voting
according to the dictation OF any party,
was O. traitor. "Any man who says Il
belong to such q party simply says that
he is the property of that party, and
will bear Watching" according to Mr..
Finch. Mr.. Finch says that in talking
temperance he talks to mems heads not
to their stomachs. There we're no rights
without duties and no duties without
obligations according to Mr.. Finch's
course OF reasoning and q mans rights
in America had with them duties and
these duties were obligations which
must be met by loyal men. He wanted
every loyal man to meet them.
